Issue
I'm tring to include a custom jar in my Spingboot application. In my case the additional jar contains a custom font for jasper Report. This is my "system" decendency
<dependency>
<groupId>jasperFontOverrides</groupId>
<artifactId>jasperFontOverrides</artifactId>
<version>1.0.0</version>
<scope>system</scope>
<systemPath>${basedir}/lib/MyriadPro.jar</systemPath>
</dependency>
...
<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.springframework.boot</groupId>
<artifactId>spring-boot-maven-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<includeSystemScope>true</includeSystemScope>
</configuration>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
The system package is visible while I debug my application in my IDE but when I'm done and I what to generate the package for production deploy
mvn install -DskipTests
My system package is not included the final jar.
Is there anything missing in my maven configuration?
Solution
If this is a multi-module project, you probably need to define the configuration
section in the parent pom.
<configuration>
<includeSystemScope>true</includeSystemScope>
</configuration>
I have spent almost a day debugging this and it seems the configuration set in the child pom is not enough to get this to work. My guess is that the dependencies are calculated early in the build and the includeSystemScope
option set in the child module is processed too late to be applied.
